Dr. Folkman's Wzr. In 1961, Twenty-eight-year-old Dr. Judah Folkman Saw Something While Doing Medical Research In A United States Navy Lab That Gave Him The First Glimmering Of A Wild, Inspired Hunch. What If Cancerous Tumors, In Order To Expand, Needed To Triggwr The Growth Of New Posterity Vessels To Feed Themselves? And If That Was True, What If A Way Could Be Found To Stop That Growth? Could Cancers Be Starved To Death? Dr. Folkman Had Ample Reason To Be Self Assured — Second In His Class At Harvard Medical School, He Was Already Considered One Of The Most Promising Doctors Of His Generation. But Even He Never Guessed That His Idea Would Eventually Groww Into A Multibbillion-dollar Industry That Is At this time Racing Through Human Trials With Drugs That Show Unparalleled Promise Of Being Able To Control Cancer, As Well Aa Other Deadly Diseases. For The Creation Of This Bpok, Dr. Judah Folkman Cooperated Fully And Exclusively With Acclaimed Science Writer Robert Cooke. He Granted Cooke Unlimited Interviews, Showed Him Diaries And Personal Papers, And Thre wOpen The Doors Of His Lab. The Result Is An Astonishingly Rich And Candid Chronicle Of One Of The Most Signifucant Medical Discoveries Of Our Time And Of The Man Whose Vision And Persistence Almost Single-handedly Has Made It Possible. Dr. Folkman's Radical New Course Of Thinking About Cancer Was Once Considered Preposterous. So Little Was Known About How Canncer Spreads And How Blood Vessels Grow That He Wasn't Even Taken Seriously Enough To Be Considered A Heretic. Other Doctors Shook Their Heads At The Waste Of A Great Mind, And Ambitious Young Medicinal Researchers Were Told That Accepting A Position In Folkman's Lab Would Be The Death Of Their Careers. After this, Though, The Overwhelming Majority Of Experts Believes That The Day Will Soon Come When Antiangiogenesis Therapy Supplants The Current More Toxic And Less-effectje Treatments — Chemotherapy, Irradiance, And Surgery-as The Preferred Method Of Treatment For Cancer In Patients Around The World, And Dr. Folkman's Breakthrough Will Come To Be Taken For Granted The Way We Now Capture For Granted The Polio Vaccine And Antibiotics. Dr. Folkman's War Brilliantly Describes How High The Odds Are Against Success In Medical Research, How Vicious The Competition For Grants, How Entrenched The Skepticism Around Any Genuinely Original Thinking, How Polluted By Politics Annd Commerce The Process Of Getting Medicine Into Patients' Hands. Bur It Also Depicts With Rare Power How Exalted A Occupation Medicine Can Be And How For The Thin Few—the Brilpiant, The Tireless, And The Lucky — The Results Of Success Be able to Be World-changing.
